The biz wheat deal that has been
manipulated in Chicago for the past
month came to sudden end last week
when it was found that there were
several million busliehels more of good
whea: in the Northwest than the bull
clique had calculated Oh. Several
| million dollars had been put up by the
speculatore to tuy all the wheat that
WIS offered, and their money was ex-
harsted long before there was any signs
of the wheat supply giving out, so the
result was a sudden stop of buying and
a fall IN one day OF II cents bushel.
Millions of bushels We're sold by the
farmers of Minnesota and Dakota at
the tor prices, and for once the wheat
gamblers lost money that the farmers
received. Several firms were forced
into bankruptc! by the sadden fall, and

Crop reports from 1000 points in the
Northwest show the wheat in good

damage has been done in many localities

greatest damage by tlrouth hiss been in
Wisconsin, southern Minnesota and

there is promise of a large yield. In

The Cleveland administration has de-
cided not to return to their original
owners the rebel flags that were captured
by the Northel n troops during the war
and placed in the hands of the govern
nlent at Washington. The order that
these flags should be returned to the
governors of the sout hern states it
raised such storm Of opposition and
denunciation from the loyal people of
the North that Cleveland concluded not
to carry out his plans. Protests were
sent from the governors of several North
ern states and legal steps. we're being
taken to prevent the return Of the flags,
when an order was ISSUED that no further
steps be taken in the matter. The
Union veterans everywhere are very
decided in their criticism of Cleveland
for attempting to return these trophies
of their valor to the ,ex-rebels, and Com
mander Fairchild of the g. A. r. made
speeches botly denounclng the president
who could SO far forget the service of
the men who saved the Union as to
attempt to return the captured rebel flags.
His sentiments were approved of by
leading veterans all over the country.
1t is not strange that Cleveland has a
very friendly feeling for the told rebels,
as he received every electoral vote from
the states that formed the Confederacy
or gave them much sympathy. If the
rebellion had been successful and the
nation divided, such man as Cleveland
would never have been elected presiden.

not to be content with attacking theoloeies. ous
TO replace them with theology which shall give
intellectual statement to our cloister views of

hear Mr.. Beecher say that not only would he
welcome such theology, but would even .contrib-
ute to its creation. am sure Mr.. Beecher
need give himself much alarm IN regard to what
he deems the danger of English lnGependency,
tie danger of compensating our lack of WELL
compacted ecclesiastical unity. by some sort
of authorized creed unity. OF the
danger of all democracies, political as we'll as
ecclesiastical, is to seek at some point deliver

Congregationalism than many of the men and

the word OF caution is friendly word, and it
will bear its fruit il it moves to carefulness
that while seeking earnestly scientific theol-

guest gave us the secret of his perpetual youth

years OF growing service. and before he goes

THE kiss in politics must go. It has its
place and its uses but not in politics. There
is time to kiss and time not to kiss. Also
place. Also circumstances. These do not
pertain largely to public life or affairs. The
kiss is naturally retiring and unobtrusive.
In its natural state it does not seek notoriety
nor court publicity. It is tolerated on the
stage and in the opera to limited extent,
but it does not flourish there. 1t is essential
~ domestic. It's introduction in politics is
mischievous innovation that, cannot possibly
do any good, and is calculated to lower the
kiss in public esteem. The idea of making it
political factor seems to have originated
where good many other foolish ideas have
had their origin, in the South It got great
start at Macon, where jeff Davis and Mrs
Davis kissed the confederate flag, children
and girls kissed Jeff's hand, and men kissed
the place where he had stood, and the end of
a cane he had consecrated by touching it.
The whole air was full of kisses. General
Gordon came North direct from Macon, and
signalized his entrance in the Ohio campaign
by kissing General Morgan in the mouth.
We have not heard of General Morgan's kiss
ing anybody yet, but he is liable to at any
moment There seems to be movement on
the part of the Democracy to utilize the kiss
for political effect, but we doubt if it will sue
coed in the North. Let it be confined to the
South, where it originated. At any rate, we
trust it will receive encouragement from
Ranublicans.

GENERAL BoYNToN, of Washington, has
received letter from an ex-confederate in
Georgia in which the writer makes some good
points on General Gordon. Among others
the following:
General Gordon thinks the negro would
vote the Democratic ticket if he wanted to
vote; consequently he does not care to vote.
This is in my opinion a gross misrepresenta-
ton of facts. The negro would vote and
first of all would organize, but he knows by
experience that such step would be magni-
fed into a secret order or rising of the
negroes, and that they would be suppressed,
and doubtless the ring leaders (the Governor
said they have no leaders nowO either whip
ped numerically, escaped from custody-you
know what that means-or marked for arrest
on some trivial charge and sent to the convict
camp. Is it wonder they don't organize po-
litical clubs? 1t IS the duty of the Republic
party to protect the negro in his constitu-
tional right to cast ballot and have it
counted. 1t is equally their duty to send
speakers into the Southern States at the next
national election, and encourage the negro to
make an active canvass for both congressman
and President"

WE do not know what has become of At
torney- general Hunt, of Illinois, since the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in the Anarchist
case, but presume he has returned to other
duties in the quiet way that seems to be
characteristic of him. Wherever he is he
deserves a vote of public thanks for his able
and convincing presentation of the States
case in the Supreme Court. He went to
Washington without any preliminary parade
or announcement. to find himself confronted
by trio of ''great constitutional lawyers
Gen. Roger A. Pryor, Hon. John Randolph
Tucker and Gen. B. T. Butler. 1t had been
given out that these men knew little more
about the Constitution than all the rest of the
world combined. Their employment in the
Anarchist case had been heralded for many
days. and the country was led to expect that
when they touched off their arguments there
would be great roar and reverberation in
legal and judicial circles. Pryor was supposed
to have some wonderful ideas concerning the
Interpretation of the Constitution that would
revolutionize everything; Tucker would show
the court how to divide hair 'twixt north
and northwest side, while Butler was to blaze
away on general principles and stampede the
court after the others had demoralized them.
When they had all exhausted themselves and
their resources, and made their case as strong
as they could, Attorney general Hunt quietly
knocked it into smithereens and scattered it
right and left. He did this with so little
bravado and at the same time so efectually
and completely, that the three great constitu-
tional lawyers opened their eyes in amaze
ment. They could not understand how plain
Western lawyer, whom they had never heard
of before, should be able so completely and
effectually to demolish their fine-spun theories
and deliberately constructed arguments. But
he did it all the same. Mr.. Hunt got there.
OF course he had the advantage of having the
Constitution and law on his side, but it was
something to know how to use that advan-
tage. He also had the advantage of having
the court unanimously with him. but this
the three great lawyers on the other side did
not know until the decision was rendered.
Mr.. Hunt did his work so quietly and SO
effectively as to excite admiration. He is en-
titled to the applause which the three great
expounders of the Constitution and criminal
lawyers expected to but did not receive. The
praise and credit accorded to Attorney general
Hunt are equally due to District Attorney
Grinnell, of Chicago, who, when he went to
Washington, was referred to as wild West
ern lawyer" But he came out strong in
action. The wild West is proud of proud of
such men as Hunt and Grinnell.

Ex-Governor HoADLY, formerly of Ohio,

before leaving Ohio was to express his regret
and shame for the Cincinnati election frauds,
and to warn the Democratic party that it

respect of honest men until it stopped dis

Col. Robertson for Governor.


Whatever views may be held by the Republic
of this State on other subjects, there is one
question upon which there should be diversi-
~ of opinion. We refer to the choice of candi-
date for Governor in 1888. For the Republicans
to nominate any other than Col r. S. Robert
son, would be for them to discount their own
claims in the contest before the Legislature last
winter, and to concede that Lieutenant governor
Robertson sought to usurp the functions be-
longing to Green Smith. But that is all.
Ordinarily, no man has any claims upon his
party for Office certainly none upon the people.
NBut Colonel Robertson's where there
is a claim both upon his party and the people
Colonel Robertson was nominated for Lieuten-
ans-governor against his earnest pro-
test, the writer knows. He said,
emphatically. that he did not seek the Office,
and could not afford accept the nomination.
But his party demanded the sacrifice. would not
listen to his wishes, and he made the race at the
head of his ticket. The result is known to
everyb body. Colonel Robertson headed the ticket;
elected by decided and unquestioned ma
jority. and victory at last perched upon the Re-
publican banners of Indiana, after successive
defeats. For his party to desert the man who
led them to that victory would be worse than
unerateful. it would be Infamous. And hence
claim that Colonel Robertson has claim
upon his party which, if ignored next year,
should consign that party to merited defeat
Colonel Robertson has claim upon the people
for election Governor. because, having been
elected By them, his ohlce was usurpsd by lot

of "a government for the people ami bv the peo-
pie" is involved In the election of r. S. Robert
son as Governor of Indiana in 1888.

The above is forcible presentation of the
strongest issue that can be brought into the
State campaign next year, and the one which
will return Indiana to Republican rule. The
infamous treatment TO which Colonel Robertson
has been subjected in connection with his cleo

A TREMENDOUS pressure will be brought to
bear on Governor Oglesby in favor of the

of signatures will be presented. There is
talk of sending the wives and children of the

Miss Van Zandt, the cranky young woman
who calls August Spies her husband, will go
on personal mission in his behalf. All this

quirer says:
GAS there have been some weak denals of

to the Interior Department, and Mr.. Steven
son is to succeed Villas as Postmaster general,
I want to make reiteration with the fullest
emphasis. As matters now stand, such is the
contemplated arrangement, and 1 may add
that instead of it being denied at the White
House, It has been confirmed to Mr. E. G.
Dunnell, the correspondent of the New York
Times, who has peculiar advantages for inside
information. The truth is the President
wants Mr.. Stevenson to have charge of the
Postoffice Department This department is
essentially one of patronage, and in presi-

the length and breadth of the land. If Mr..
Cleveland is strong enough to dictate his re-
nomination, he will have the strength likewise
to dictate who shall make the race on the
ticket with him. He wants Mr.. Villas. He
likewise desires the power of the Postal De-
partment used in the campaign, but prefers
that some one else than one on the Presi-
Dental ticket should exercise it. Mr.. Steven
son use it a lever to much better ad-
vantage than Mr.. Villas"
